🫶🏻 In peri and menopause our microbiome changes and diversity can decline which can mean:
☑️ More inflammation & leaky gut
☑️ Less ability to convert hormones
☑️ Less resilience to diet and metabolism stress
☑️ Lower bone density
☑️ Increased va**na pH
☑️ A shift to a male type (M-type) microbiota
But there’s lots we can do which is why at Lucy Childerley Clinic we work on digestion as one of our FOUR main pillars.
Here are a few of the things we work on:
✅ Eat the Rainbow 🌈. Think of different vegetables feeding different bacteria. Want diversity? Add variety.
✅ Switch to wholegrain carbs for more fibre.
✅ Start adding and fermented foods or talk to supplements. In Clinic we choose a specific supplement to help support your symptoms. Note, not all probiotics might be your friend.
